Heat transition: Private households alone have to pay the green gas quota - costs open in paper

The German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs has presented a key points paper on a green gas and green heating oil quota. The quota will start at 1% in 2028 and apply to gas and heating oil used in private households for oil and gas heating systems. The quota will not apply to industry, commerce, transportation, or electricity and district heating generation.

Fuel traders are responsible for meeting the quota by blending an increasing proportion of climate-neutral fuel into the gas and heating oil they supply. The paper does not address the costs of the quota.
